Don Jane Posted March 25, 2014 Share #482 Posted March 25, 2014 Looks great ! I have my hull looking pretty good after about 7 coats of paint and lots of sanding - My feelings about a steel hull ship is as long as the planking lines are not visible, it is ok to show a bit of imperfections in a hull as a full scale steel hull will have some waves in the steel sheets.

Adrieke Posted October 13, 2014 Author Share #484 Posted October 13, 2014 soon I ll be starting on finishing painting the hull for now I am first catching up on another build. a few months ago I signed up for the build the black pearl magazine, as an incentive for me to slowly get back in to model building. the idea was to do one magazine each week but some other activities (I got too many things on again) got in the way. I should be back on track this weekend and then I can put my main focus back on the GF here a picture of the Black Pearl so far Script, popeye the sailor, mtaylor and 3 others 6 Quote Current builds : HMS Bounty, Constructo Pilar Next build : undecided On the Shelf : AL San Juan, Mamoli HMS Victory Builds on hold : Ochre Gorch Fock, Hachette/Amati Black Pearl Previous Builds Gallery : Virginia; King of Mississippi Previous Builds logs : AL King of Mississippi 1/80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cog Posted October 19, 2014 Share #501 Posted October 19, 2014 (edited) Well, I'll be moving files as well. Computer crash, luckily I've a laptop which has most programs and partly the data (remainder on a local server). The annoying part is the installation of the O/S and all the programs. That will take me at least two days. Good luck and patience! Edited October 19, 2014 by cog Quote Carl "Desperate affairs require desperate measures." Lord Nelson Search and you might find a log ...

Adrieke Posted October 30, 2014 Author Share #502 Posted October 30, 2014 (edited) thanks mobsie, its good to be back, was so frustrating seeing it all sit there and not being bale to work on it. yup Carl. OS installation is usually quick but all the other programs :S. That's why these days after I reinstalled most things, I take an image, so It will be a lot less work to do it again. well I finally started again I am still not happy on how the hull turned out , but after several tries , I have resigned to the fact that I am not going to improve it much. so I made the little jig to mark the waterline, and drew the line. as you can see even that didn't go smoothly. I used the level app on my works iPhone to get the hull straight. but it was enough to be able to use masking tape to get a nice straight line. after covering the upper hull with plastic I spray painted it with dark green. I am waiting now for it to dry , so I can find out how well I did on creating the waterline Edited October 30, 2014 by Adrieke trippwj, popeye the sailor, mtaylor and 5 others 8 Quote Current builds : HMS Bounty, Constructo Pilar Next build : undecided On the Shelf : AL San Juan, Mamoli HMS Victory Builds on hold : Ochre Gorch Fock, Hachette/Amati Black Pearl Previous Builds Gallery : Virginia; King of Mississippi Previous Builds logs : AL King of Mississippi 1/80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
